Mars Red

A collection of shows featuring late-night city vibes.

Most good stories have this, so this is more like, anime that use show don't tell the a lot and do it effectively.

on an unrelated note, go subscribe to APolygons2 on youtube. he is.... umm... just a very cool channel I found. it's totally not my own shitty attempt at making entertainment.

people tell me I have weird tastes. But I enjoy a good amount of series. I also watch alot that others havent seen, so I wanted to compile some good ones I have enjoyed that many may have not seen.
Some of these people have seen, but I feel like I rarely hear them talked about.

Anime set in aforementioned time periods. Some of them are technically not historical but have the vibes.
Only from what I have already watched, so sorry for a small number.
(Possibly mild spoilers)

A collection themed around the spookiest time of year, but it's always Halloween in my soul...

While most of this list falls under the horror/suspense/mystery genres, there are a few included based on their heavy themes of zombies/ghosts/vampires, etc.

This list ranges from incredibly good to laughably bad, so I've ordered it by score so you have a better idea of what you're in for. Sequels are not included.

"Atmosphere is defined as the pervading mood of a person, place, or work of art. The mastery of atmosphere in movies controls how a person feels while watching a movie, whether it be a creeping dread pulling down on the viewer or an exhilarating energy that makes the viewer feel like they can fly."

so, THAT.

it's basically the "vibe" of the piece for you younglings (says the 18 year old). so the stuff here are things that make you FEEL the setting.

what results in it, is generally a mix of "music, aesthetic, direction, and sound design".

I was 50/50 on putting vanitas here, just cause I think the chibi comic relief can take you out, but I thought why not, there is space. I'll removed it when I need to start being more picky.

also, subscribe to APolygons2 on YouTube, IT WILL , 100%, result in BREATHING! which is one of THE main causes of being alive!

So i wanted to add here the anime i can call "realistic,semi-realistic,not weird face or boyshaped,not moe"

(I will add more if I find)

Shows that I personally feel are underwatched/underated, and should get more attention! They are not obscure, hidden gems that nobody has watched before, but even so, it'd be nice if more people discovered them :)

A selection of shows that centralizes on the idea of evil, whether as a direct presence or a symbolic representation, that revels in themes of hostility, corruption, debauchery and death that ultimately, cause the grievous and tragic collapse of one's sense of humanity. Due to its dark nature, this list is unfiltered and therefore, may display lurid elements that are problematic. But if you're here to seek the thrills of violence and the spills of blood, then witness the dance of the Devil.

Caveats:

• Most entries contain explicit materials, including gore and sexual content.
• Anime formats vary from film, anthology, short/ova and full-length series.
• If there are recommendation, I'll provide an extended note in the caption.

Realistic or semi-realistic art styles, proper face & body proportions, nothing that looks too cartoon-ish or stereotypical overly detailed big anime eyes or moe art style

Do you agree with this list? Is there any animes I should've or should've not added?
